Who Is This Bitch, Anyway?

The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny awarded the album 4½ stars stating "A record as fierce and blunt as its title portends, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? vaults Marlena Shaw into a brave new world of feminism and funk, updating the sophisticated soul-jazz approach of her previous records to explore a fast-changing musical, political, and sexual landscape... Not only Shaw's best-selling Blue Note release, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? represents her creative apex as well".[2]
